Southwest Virginia Democrats

Patrick County Caucus Meeting
Mon. May 22, 2006
Old Courhouse Bld. Main Street, Stuart, VA
7:00 p.m.

Please attend!

Last night (actually early this morning), I met up with Dan Gray and Jim Franklin from the Webb campaign. They dropped off a few hundred “Webb for Senate” yard signs to be distributed in Southwest Virginia.

Do you have one in your yard yet? Do you have 5-10 friends that also need one? Contact me and I will make arrangements to get you one (or several). The primary will be here before you know it - why wait? Get one today!

More information here.

From the VBA:

Continuing a tradition of 20+-years’ standing, The Virginia Bar Association will again this year host a debate between candidates for major statewide political office. The debate will be held on Saturday, July 22 at 10:30 A.M. at The Homestead in connection with the VBA’s annual Summer Meeting to be held on July 20-23 and will feature incumbent Republican U.S. Senator George Allen and the winner of the June 13 Democratic primary, either Harris Miller or Jim Webb, who will be seeking to unseat Allen.

Saturday, May 27th, 12:00p.m., DeHart Park, Stuart, VA

Shelter #2.

We hope to see you all there!

The 9th CD Convention will be held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, June 10, 2006, in the Marion Senior High School auditorium.

There will also be a short 9th District Committee meeting at 12:30 PM, following the convention.

Here are some directions to the High School:

1) Get on I-81 and head to Exit 45.
2) Northbound traffic turn left at the exit stop sign, southbound traffic turn right at exit stop sign onto Route 16.
3) You will pass the state hospital complex on your right (complete with high fences/guard towers).
4) Go to the end of this road and turn right at the last (2nd) traffic light.
5) Bear left onto Route 16 again almost immediately at the Chevron Station. Do not go up the long/steep hill directly in front of you prior to the turn.
6) At the next traffic light you will see a Hardee’s on your left. Go straight through this light.
7) Pass through a 2nd traffic light and then cross some rail road tracks.
